Scrooge got out onto the street, and
he went straight as a bee to the Com
mercial Club. He passed into a small
room, where several business men,
sacrificing time from their work, were
taking in subscriptions for the Gen
eral Hospital. "How much do you
lack?" asked Scrooge.
"Forty thousand dollars." said one
of the men, dumbfounded to see
Scrooge there.
"Sign me up for that amount!" said
Scrooge.

charming; she was everything that
Scrooge was not, and Scrooge Idolised
her. Kut every gift and luxury that
he bestowed upon her was wrenched
from some poor s.iul.' Scrooge didn't
care a rap whether that soul was a
poor widow, with a big family, nor
whether the widow was sick. No sir!
Scrooge would have his pound!
O! Hut he was a tight-fisted hand

eh? If that's the case, I'll cut your
wages down!"
"But I I" ' - .
"Let me hear another sound from
you, and you'll lose your situation."
The men let themselves out, glad to
escape from Scrooge's presence.
Time went on, and a second epi

denly, one day, out of a clear sky.

summoned the town's best doctor, but
he was already overburdened, and one
life was as valuable to him as another.
He did his best to aid Scrooge in find
ing a nurse, but there was none to be
had, and the hospitals were already
overcrowded.
Scrooge's beautiful daughter slipped
down into the Valley of the Shadow,
and passed on to the Haven of Hearts
Content.
Scrooge was wild with his grief. The
words of the doctor kept ringing In
his ears: "If we had the new hos
pital that the city is trying to raise
money for, your daughter need not
have died."
Ing, clutching, covetous old sinner!
External heat and cold had little in

warm him, no cold could chill him.

Hut what did Scrooge care! It was

keep its distance, was what the know

it with composure? Is your skin
flawless? Clear, lorely in coloring?
Or is there some blemish that
stands out mercilessly in your own
consciousness? Some fault in your
complexion that you know observant
eyes must take notice of?
There is nothing that so destroys
a man's or woman's poise and self
confidence as the consciousness tff a
complexion at fault. Even a little
blemish in some conspicuous place
makes you miserably embarrassed. You
want to shrink into the background.
You lose your confidence, your gaiety.
Your very personality is dimmed, just
when you are most anxious to appear
at your best.
Yet this suffering is entirely need
less. You need never be miserable
and tongue-tied from such self-consciousness.

regular, hygienic care of the skin, can
free her complexion of the defects
